I just finished this little dishcloth (Is it obvious that I am needing to decompress after the Pi shawl?) The picture is rotated 90 degrees from how it was produced- the front side is at the top.

Look what happened- the tiny front stripes go one way, and on the flip side of the cloth the stripes go the other direction! Neato right?

Each row knit only produces 0.5 rows of progress- so knitting alternating colors gives you some itty bitty horizontal stripes that would be impossible in plain stickinette. Another fun aspect of this cloth is that the solid yellow border was possible to produce as the piece was knit- no picking up after- that's because out and back for four stitches of seed stich- is the perfect bridge for when you are not knitting blue out to the edges.

A very satisfying little knit... and by the way Superman was a wonderful comic book summer blockbuster.

I had to pop over here and explore when I got your link in the contest entry you sent a little while ago. Very impressive! You're quite adventurous, with the double-knit, that GORGEOUS shawl, etc. Lovely, lovely, lovely!
